"I'm interested in reading proficiency and reading retardation, for example, and social class is the best single indicator of how well children are going to read...Now it is not as though if we had a utopian society there still wouldn't be reading problems, or uneven rates of development. But if you have the combination of biological insult and developmental pressures...And families may serve as the immediate transmitter of culture to the child.

But most of this investment goes into economies which support one of the most threatening problems to peaceful and equitable development in Africa: the artificial racial barriers erected by the White-dominated colonies and countries in the South. As long as these remain the uneven investment patterns which favor the white centers of development, there is little hope that an equitable integration of races can be achieved and the constant danger that violence may erupt...
